Company officials say the X-Train experience would be a party-style atmosphere and could include a gambling car, sports bar and TV-equipped passenger cars.

Unlike the high-speed DessertXpress proposal, the X-train plan would use existing tracks and not require expensive dedicated tracks or construction, but it would travel much slower than DesertXpress' estimated 150-mph speed.

"It’s here now, existing technology that won’t take billions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars to develop," company CEO Michael Barron told the Sun. "We’re acquiring standard train sets and bi-level commuter passenger cars, and then we’re getting some special cars that we’ll trick up to become a gaming car or a sports and entertainment car."

Plans call for the X-Train to operate round-trip service once a day, five days a week, Thursday through Monday with stops in Fullerton.

Barron told the Sun that a round-trip ticket would cost about $99. Within five years, executives hope to run 40 trains a week, the Sun reported.
